“Built on AT protocol, centralized on BlueSky”. No thanks.

Good one, got a chuckle out of me :)

If we think Elon, Gates and Bezos are far-right, exploiting, scum billionaires, then Thiel is about 715 Texas sized football fields to the right of them politically. Dude is and has always been insane.

They’re still running on VC money so it’ll be a while. My guess: ads, selling user data, AI training on user behaviours, limiting what content is suitable (getting rid of NSFW), promoting corporate brands (so algorithmic advertising) and adding crypto in one way or another. And all the other tricks that older platforms have been doing.

And probably burying the thought of distributed protocol, hoping people will stop talking about it.

should work as cross-indexing domain-specific, configuration-specific video galleries

Yes indeed - this is great idea and probably the only way a “web scale” distributed video service can work - unfortunately this doesn’t quite exist yet. Even mature implementations like Mastodon have hard time dealing with “global” free text searching (or any kind of taxonomy). But maybe that’s the idea that starts a truly free web!

I doubt it. Bandwidth and storage costs for distributed video on the scale of YouTube isn’t going to happen without some kind of monetisation beyond stray donations.

Places like Nebula have better operating models but they’re also very niche.

Bsky is just another VC financed grift though.

Same techbro hegemony as Meta’s “Facebook AI Friends” they are trying to roll out.

Boss I’m tired of AI

The EU should slap the living daylights out of this company

ChatGPT in its PhD thesis defense: “Oh, I’m sorry for the misinformation, let me try this again…”

Oh heaven forbid wanting to discuss things in discussion forum instead of watching “content”.

I repeat, what exactly is your problem with Linus? Point me to the kernel.org thread where he is being a jerk to you? Or at least the issue you have in kernel development?

I’m trying to discuss this with you. You keep shouting something about content.

So discuss or get the fuck out.

Yes please, if it’s only 4 minutes you should be able to air your grievances with Linus in text fairly easily and save us all from having to watch some shitty YouTube video

You are accusing him of being a jerk after all.

He has track record of being extremely blunt. This has been the case since the 90s., though he has made attempts to be less direct in the past decade or so. What’s your problem specifically?

Normally you’d link the kernel.org mail thread, not a YouTube video.

Care to summarise your beef with Linus in text because I’m not watching that.

Use Ente photos

Brave has a good marketing team.

And then the game wouldn’t work.

It doesn’t have to be open source. There’s plenty of binary firmware and drivers around.

Yeah. On Twitter as well
